Okay, because of the amount ot which I sucked, I didn't pay much attention. Felt so good about my team, but sat in the shitter, nonetheless.

Craptastic is the big winner
Roid Rage is the best loser
And spacedog is the second biggest loser.

So now I have to go ask for a refund from the strippers that got all your money. But not to worry, I am sure they will understand.

Drop me a PM or email me at kvrdave AT gorge.net and let me know if you want it sent via paypal (and give me that email address) or if you want a check in the mail. Either way is good with me.

Everyone is paid. Up yours because I continue to suck since having the bright idea that we make this a money deal. Yeah, see you next year.

It may be a little early to start thinking fantasy football but I too am looking forward to the new season.

Is it too early to get dibs on the 2009 DVDtalk league?

The Zorbonauts want their revenge. A 4th place finish after a 12-2 season almost broke up the team but the team has pulled together in the off season and is ready for the 2009 campaign.

Count me in once we get this thing going again.

Re: DVDTalk Fantasy Football Money League

I totally blew goats last year, (AND wussed out of the money league), but since I don't know if my other money league is going to happen this year, if you guys need an extra $20, I'm in this year too.

(And/or free leagues too. I'm a fantasy (sports) whore.)

I sent Dave a reminder email today. I thought he did a great job as commish last year.

If he steps down as commish though I'll second your nomination

Re: DVDTalk Fantasy Football Money League

Count me in this year. I was going to get in last year, but then forgot about it and had to settle for the free leagues. Nothing like a little extra $$ to make things interesting...

Like others I'm a fantasy football whore and last year managed about 12 leagues. After all that's what Sundays are for.....

Re: DVDTalk Fantasy Football Money League

I think last year's money league can be renewed from here

http://archive.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nfl/2008/341013
Edit: I think you have to have been in the league to access that page.

I'm in as the lowly Atoms. I need to return to greatness when I won it all in '03.

Re: DVDTalk Fantasy Football Money League

I went ahead and started the first dvdtalk money league for 2009. I used the same settings as last years league. I figured since we already have 12 that have expressed interest we might as well get one started.

I'm set as the Commish right now since I renewed the league but Spicollidriver1 has already volunteered to become the commish if Dave does not join this league. Last year we all put up $21 each and Dave kept the money and handled the payouts at the end. I'm guessing that this would fall to Spicollidriver1 if he assumed the commish job this year. I set the draft date as Aug 1 at 4 p.m est/1 p.m pst just because I had to pick a date. We can change this once the league is full and set.

I'm guessing we'll probably have enough for a second league. I'm up for joining a second if the interest is there. I've listed the info for the first league below:

I'm in for the second one as well, but don't want to jump in until everyone else gets a crack. I'll try to keep up with whether or not the 2nd league is full, never have too many .
